K.V. Knopp Funeral Home

K.V. Knopp Funeral Home operates from a single location at 46 East Susquehanna Street in Allentown, where funeral services have been conducted since 1895. The business traces its origins to A.J. Heller, who built the facility and began serving as a funeral director that year. The operation passed through four owners at this same address: Heller, his step-son William Derr, Clayton Werley, and Kenneth V. Knopp.

In 2024, Alexander D. Maher purchased the funeral home from Ken Knopp, who had owned and operated it for four decades. Maher had managed the facility for six years prior to the sale. The ownership transition was structured to maintain continuity—Maher's stated commitment is to preserve the legacy built by his predecessor while introducing contemporary memorial options.

The funeral home positions itself as serving families of all religious backgrounds, belief systems, and languages, with an explicit goal of accommodating diverse traditions while incorporating modern remembrance practices.
